The estate was privately owned for decades before being opened to the public in 2012.
The sculpture collection features works by notable artists such as David Williams-Ellis.
The grounds include a 'stumpery', a Victorian-style garden feature made of upturned tree roots.
The Himalayan Garden & Sculpture Park is a 45-acre woodland estate in North Yorkshire featuring one of the UK's largest collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, and magnolias. It contains over 80 contemporary sculptures integrated into a landscape of lakes, arboretums, and woodland paths. The park is home to a significant collection of plants native to the Himalayas, often sourced from original plant-hunting expeditions. The terrain is undulating and includes several natural springs and streams that feed a network of ornamental ponds. Visitors can explore a Himalayan-style shelter and a pagoda-style tea room. The grounds also feature an extensive collection of rare trees, many of which are registered in national collections. The park operates as a botanical garden with a focus on conservation and plant diversity.
